Más información
Esta formación natural es una estrecha grieta con paredes onduladas tallada en capas de arenisca, formadas a partir de los sedimentos del antiguo mar de Panonia. En algunos puntos tiene apenas medio metro de ancho, mientras que sus paredes se elevan entre 10 y 15 metros de altura.
Geological and Natural Significance
The gorge was shaped by long-term erosive forces—mainly wind and water—that sculpted the soft, layered sandstone into dramatic, curving walls. In some places, the passage is barely half a metre wide, while the walls rise up to 10–15 metres high. The unique rock formations and exposed stratification provide an excellent example of sedimentary geological processes, making the site valuable for both scientific and educational purposes.
Access and Hiking Opportunities
Morgó-gödör lies on the eastern edge of Nemti, accessible from the end of Fenyves Street via a small, mostly unmarked footpath branching off from the green trail. Though the route is short, it offers an exciting adventure through the gorge. Hikers can continue from the end of the gorge to visit nearby rock formations such as the Kőleány (“Stone Maiden”) and Sárkányszikla (“Dragon Rock”), as well as the Bánya-tető lookout point, which offers a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape.
Name Origin
The name Morgó-gödör (“Growling Pit”) is said to originate from the eerie sounds created when the wind rushes through the narrow ravine. Due to the acoustics of the winding rock walls, the airflow often produces a low, growling or howling noise—especially in windy weather—lending the place an air of mystery and lending the gorge its distinctive name.
